How can I add a file to an existing review specifying the path to the latest version in perforce as well as a patch to identify the changes for review?

Question

I am trying my luck to contact the support team as I cannot get a result from the Answers web pages and forums.

The changed files in a Pending changelist cannot be accessed by fisheye/crucible until they are submitted.

We do not allow developers to submit until their code changes in their pending reviews have been reviewed.

I am trying to develop a simple script that uses the REST Remote API to add a file to an existing review.

The script will specify the files path in perforce and provide a patch/diff to identify the code changes in the pending changelist. The review should list the changes to review in full -context as if I have had provided two changesets to the file in perforce.

You might want to try the commands 'p4 shelve' and 'p4 unshelve' mentioned in this feature request: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CRUC-3378 Then, use this REST API to add the patch: https://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/crucible.html#d2e861

Simply adding the patch should work, assuming it is correctly formatted (i.e. has a reference to already submitted changelist)
